Bertram 35 Fuel fill vent line?

Does anyone know where the fuel tank vent fitting comes out of the tank? I would like to run a new vent hose off of it and rain the original hullside fitting to just under the rub rail.
I am away from the boat and trying to plan ahead. 1970 35'

Both are clean and have Prop Scan reports from the last several years- I have pulled them every season, cleaned them and had a tune up with the reports
Boat ran very smooth and lots of bite.

Gathering parts is almost a daily adventure- all the small stuff is adding up.

Try this place . They were very helpful when I was looking for a hard top. They are in Fort Pierce. http://www.themarineconnection.net/Towers.html I built my own hardtop and then had the pipe work replaced to match the top.
